Welcome to planDisney, Linda!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your
MagicBand question. They’re an amazing tool - not only do they hold your park tickets for easy theme park access, but
PhotoPass photographers can quickly scan them to add those unforgettable vacation photos. Plus, they unlock interactive features for attractions and nighttime spectaculars. I have to say, one of my favorite parts is the fun variety of designs available, which always makes my kids feel extra special!
While you can still use your MagicBands as a Guest staying at Shades of Green, some features are not available. MagicBands cannot be used to open your hotel room door (you will receive a plastic key card when you check in), and you cannot charge purchases to your room. You can still use the MagicBands to enter the theme parks, tap to scan in for Lightning Lanes and even play interactive games in the parks such as Batuu Bounty Hunters in Galaxy's Edge at
Hollywood Studios.
If you already have MagicBands, they should still be linked to your MyDisney account. To check, log in to your
My Disney Experience app. Click on the menu icon at the bottom left of the screen. Next, scroll down until you see "Account" and below it, "MagicBands & Cards". Once clicked, you'll see your name, and you can click to see all MagicBands that are associated with your account.
If your MagicBands are not linked to your account, click on the menu icon and then under "Account", click on "Link to Account". Choose "Tap" and connect the MagicBand+ by following the instructions on the screen.
I hope this information was helpful, Linda. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop by
planDisney again. We'd love to help!
Enjoy making magical memories,
Candace
